Analysis and Exploiting of Mutual Coupling Effect on Inductive Pulsed Power Supply Consisting of Multiple HTS Pulse Power Transformers

“…Subsequently, the short coil design of Li et al was chosen, presumably because of the better coupling coefficient and the better suitability for a toroidal arrangement of multiple modules. Later publications from the Southwest Jiaotong University deal with simulations of the mutual inductance between several modules (toroidal arrangement) [26]- [28] or the asynchronous ignition of several modules (pulse shaping) [28]. The latter issue was experimentally tested with 2 HTSPPT modules which have been slightly modified since 2012 (smaller inductances but better coupling) [29].…”
